Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo gave basketball fans an early look at A'ja Wilson's signature Nike shoe during Friday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Adebayo wore Wilson's A'One sneakers during the game, which are set for a worldwide release in May 2025:
Wilson, who stars for the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, will be the third active WNBA to have a signature shoe, joining the New York Liberty's Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart.
Miami had a disappointing showing Friday night, falling 102-86 on the road to a rebuilding Brooklyn team.
Adebayo was one of the Heat's lone bright spots, though, as he led all Miami starters with 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting to go along with eight rebounds, two blocks and one assist.
While everyone else still has to wait a few months to get their hands on the A'One kicks, Adebayo had an in given that he and Wilson officially revealed this week that they are dating after months of speculation.
Adebayo and Wilson are quite the power couple in the basketball world given that they are among the best players in their respective leagues.
The 27-year-old Adebayo is a three-time All-Star and five-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection. He has also won a pair of gold medals with Team USA, including this past summer at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Wilson, 28, is a three-time WNBA MVP, most recently winning the award at the conclusion of the 2024 season.
She is also a two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, two-time WNBA champion and one-time WNBA Finals MVP.
Like Adebayo, Wilson is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, leading Team USA to victories at the 2020 and 2024 Summer Games.
It remains to be seen if Adebayo will continue to sport the A'One shoes for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season, but there is little doubt that Wilson will be sporting them when the 2025 WNBA campaign begins.
The Aces will get their season started on May 17 when they go on the road to face the reigning WNBA champion Liberty.
